π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
voidβ literally no arguments. nothing to pass, nothing to worry about. it's giving unbothered π
β DESCRIPTION β
so here's the tea: you call this from the local CPU when you're doing an unfreeze, or when the XEN resume magic happens. that's it, that's the whole job π₯
and the best part? no locks required, bestie. not a single one. why? because nothing can change the per cpu device β it's all yours on that CPU, so there's zero need to guard it. iconic behaviour honestly π
